Großpold
Das Dorf Großpold ist neben Großau und Neppendorf eines von drei Dörfern abseits der Industrien, in denen man Sachsen, die im 12. Jahrhundert auf Ruf des ungarischen Königs Geisa II. nach Siebenbürgen kamen und Landler, die aufgrund ihres protestantischen Glaubens im 18. Jahrhundert aus österreichischen Ländern verbannt wurden, vorfindet. Gemeinsam leben die zwei deutschen Kulturen mit Rumänen und Roma in den drei Dörfern um Hermannstadt (Sibiu). Mit dieser Arbeit möchte die Autorin die Beobachtungen und Eindrücke einer Kultur, die ihre Symbole und Rituale und vor allem ihre Sprache bis heute in Siebenbürgen erhalten haben, aufzeigen. Damit hofft Sie den Lesenden einen Einblick in eine alte deutsche Bauernkultur in Rumänien zu geben.
Farbenstudenten zwischen Weltbürgertum und Antisemitismus
Discusses the racism and antisemitism in German and Austrian university fraternities from the late 19th century until the early 1930s, which overshadowed the original ideals of the fraternities which were those of the French Revolution. They were called "Farbenstudenten" due to the tri-colored banners which they carried. Relates to various personalities, Jews and non-Jews, who were affected by antisemitism in the fraternal organizations. Notes that the "Aryan paragraph", first introduced by Georg von Schönerer in his Linz Program of 1882, was embraced by many nationalistic German fraternities. At the same time, Jewish students were prevented from engaging in dueling, a right that had been honored since the founding of the Burschenschaft in 1815. Antisemitism spread from the nationalistic fraternities to Catholic fraternities and Alpine clubs.

On the Way to the "(Un)Known"?
This volume brings together twenty-two authors from various countries who analyze travelogues on the Ottoman Empire between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. The travelogues reflect the colorful diversity of the genre, presenting the experiences of individuals and groups from China to Great Britain. The spotlight falls on interdependencies of travel writing and historiography, geographic spaces, and specific practices such as pilgrimages, the hajj, and the harem. Other points of emphasis include the importance of nationalism, the place and time of printing, representations of fashion, and concepts of masculinity and femininity. By displaying close, comparative, and distant readings, the volume offers new insights into perceptions of "otherness", the circulation of knowledge, intermedial relations, gender roles, and digital analysis.
Maria Theresa
A major new biography of the iconic Austrian empress that challenges the many myths about her life and rule Maria Theresa (1717–1780) was once the most powerful woman in Europe.

Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger provides the definitive biography of Maria Theresa, situating this exceptional empress within her time while dispelling the myths surrounding her. Drawing on a wealth of archival evidence, Stollberg-Rilinger examines all facets of eighteenth-century society, from piety and patronage to sexuality and childc...
Islam and International Law
Islam and International Law explores the multi-faceted relationship of Islam and international law. Current debates on Sharia, Islam and the “West” often suffer from prejudice and platitudes. The book seeks to engage such self-centrism by providing a plurality of perspectives, both in terms of interdisciplinary research and geographic backgrounds.
